Go Wolverines!

I am so excited because we got our new video camera in on Friday.  It is a tiny little thing (which I found out today makes it a little tricky to keep from getting shaky), and it's waterproof.  As in, you can take it completely underwater which is so cool.  It was a pretty inexpensive camera, especially compared to the one we bought when Addison was born five years ago that was ruined with water damage filming something for the church not long after we got it.  I've wanted another one ever since then and am so relieved and glad I will never have to miss another important event again!  And this one records to a memory card so it's super easy to just throw on the computer.  So thanks to the camera you are now about to witness Addison hitting the ball today at the baseball game.  Now that I've said that......

***DISCLAIMER***  This footage was shot by an overly excited baseball mother who, despite knowing she would cringe hearing herself on camera and tried to hold back, got caught in the moment and forgot she was holding a camera ( = the screen all of a sudden jumps up and down and really annoying and twangy cheering).  And it was the first time trying to use it.  And it was from a bad angle.  So if you get sea sick you might not want to watch this clip.  But if you want to see a cute kid hit the baseball and our personal favorite, give a little acknowledgement to the camera when he's on base, then watch on...  What I'm trying to say is the footage is not that great :)

I was getting on to Addison at the beginning of the clip because he was more concerned about me filming him than watching the ball :)  So we've had a couple of weeks of games under our belt now.  The Wolverines are currently undefeated.  Addison has done well so far.  He got his first hit of the season on the first pitch of the first at bat.  That game he went 1-2, and today he got to bat three times and went 2-3.   Fun times. 

Well, there's more to discuss than just Wolverine baseball, but I'll have to come back for more later.   It's actually the day after I started this post because I had some issues uploading the video, so it's time to get some sleep in preparation for the new week ahead.  Peace out from the Pate house.
